Thanks for clicking through to here. So here it is the video of me saying a quick hello and giving you a bit of an insight as to who I am and what I am about. Please feel free to comment or contact me there is a link at the bottom of this page for contact options.

Today’s technology allows us to stay in touch with extended networks of people -; but it comes with a downside. The more time we spend surfing the Web, tweeting or updating Facebook, the less time we spend with those closest to us.

I often hear people complain they have a hard time connecting with their spouses, friends and kids. Yet, I’m sure many of them are well connected in Internet chat groups and have multiple social media accounts.

It is important to recognise whether technology is keeping you away from your family and friends. If you really have a problem regulating your use of technology, it helps to understand why you might turn to technology for fulfilment.

Do you feel like you are automatically turning on whatever electronic medium soothes you? This may be a sign that you have succumbed to what is known as the “iago trance” – a naturally occurring state of mind that lulls you into unconsciousness.

If technology is interfering with your real-world relationships, cut out screen time and do activities that keep you out of the trance. Here are some tips:

* Ask yourself whether technology is stopping you from meeting goals. At the end of the day, do you say, “I wish I had more time to work out, meditate, play with my kids or connect with my spouse”?

* Make a list of things that prevent you from being connected to your friends, family and loved ones, and pick one that you’re going to cut out.

* If a particular technology has you hooked, try cutting it out for a week to see what difference it makes in your life. Ask yourself whether you’re using it the way you originally intended, or is it keeping you in iago trance?

* Lay down boundaries for yourself and your family. For instance, try keeping your Facebook page very private and not just “friending” anyone.

* Find other “unplugged” ways to reduce stress, such as spending a few minutes outdoors in the fresh air or quietly in meditation or prayer.

I’d rather tell my partner good morning than tell the people on Facebook I just woke up. How about you?

Have a great day and please feel free to leave your comments. It is always great to hear from you.

If we could live a life with Limitless Passion what would we do, how would our life be, what would it look like ?

We all have a passion inside us, a burning desire for something.

Ask yourself, what is my passion ?

What is stopping me from living that dream, what is stopping me from living my life with that passion in it. Maybe you do live with your passion in your life, if so ask your self. How can I take it to the next level? There always is a next level….

In this short video below the the awesome and inspiring Tony Robbins explains what is stopping us from reaching that level.

Have you ever had one of those days in your life when you thought things were really not going your way or that the universe was conspiring against to make your life difficult on that day, we all have right? Did you also ever look back at one of those day and think, aha that is why all of that happened.

I had one of these days very recently, and that was the day I started reading the famous book by Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich.

January 2016 and I had arrived at a friend’s apartment in Spain for the first day of a holiday. As the place where I was staying had no broadband I had ordered a portable wifi hot spot. For various reasons this wasn’t delivered to my home before I left so was to be delivered to the apartment and I was told it could be anytime between 8am and 8pm, great ! No internet for 12 hours, how would I cope? On top of that phone signal was awful and I was told I wouldn’t be called when the courier was due so I had to stay in.

Anyway as the day dragged on and I got more and more agitated at the Spanish courier service I decided that reading a book was the option. That is when I picked up Think and Grow Rich.

I had skimmed through the book before but never truly read it and applied the Carnegie formula. That day changed my life and if it had not been for all of those circumstances coming together I wouldn’t be sitting here right now writing this. I look back at that day and the Spanish courier service with a huge amount of gratitude.

So what am I trying to share with you here. If you have never read Think and Grow Rich, but you would like to create more abundance in your life I urge you to do so. If you have read it but you haven’t applied the principles, go back to it and start again. This book has had an amazing effect on my life and on the lives of many many famous people since it was first published in 1937 and will continue to do so. Since reading this book I have more abundance of time, energy and wealth in my life.

Below is an excerpt from the back cover of the original version.

‘Be prepared, therefore, when you expose yourself to the influence of this philosophy, to experience a CHANGED LIFE which may help you not only to negotiate your way through life with harmony and understanding , but also to prepare you for the accumulation of material riches in abundance. Teaching for the first time, the famous Carnegie formula for money-making, based upon THIRTEEN PROVEN STEPS TO RICHES’.

Whilst writing this I have checked out how to get hold of it and it is available on You Tube for free and in PDF format online for free, but my advice would be, go out buy yourself a copy and work through it slowly one chapter at a time and when you have mastered that chapter move on to the next.

This book will take you to another level.

There is of course another message here and that it that sometimes when things seem like they are not going our week there may be a very good and positive reason why things are the way they are we just haven’t seen it yet.

More and more people these day are making the move and working from home or looking to start-up their online business. If you are now considering or have ever considered working online here are 7 great reasons why it is a good idea.

Time Flexibility

We all know the feeling of the daily grind and routine, rushing around and never really seeming to have enough time to fit everything in. Working online allows you the flexibility to fit work and life together. Yes there are times when you will have do to specific things by a given time, but in general, you get to choose your hours. Plus you don’t have to work from home. For the majority of the time as long as you have a laptop and an internet connection – you’re at work !

Choose Your Passion

Many of the great life and personal development coaches and mentors will tell you the easiest way to riches is to follow your passion. One of my favourites T Harv Eker says ‘follow your passion and the money comes”. For most of us this would take some work and a lot of re-organisation. However when working online you can use your passion to make money. There are literally thousands and thousands of opportunities out there in every niche. Go and have a look.

Options

There are many many different ways to make money online. You may want to sell your own products or somebody else’s as part of an affiliate program, or you may have a certain skill or talent that somebody will pay for. The possibilities really are endless.

Earning Potential

The online market is 24 hours a day 365 days a year there is always somebody out there looking for what you have. The market place is currently estimate at 2 billion people and growing. That’s a lot of earning potential. Working online, you really do get back what you put in.

You Are Your Own Boss

You are the boss ! You get to choose hours, pay, conditions, perks, uniform and you are not likely to find yourself breathing down your own neck.

Travel and Time Off

Travel can mean a couple of things. Firstly you don’t have the travel time to and from work, for some of this can be a considerable amount of time each day wasted. Secondly you may genuinely want to travel more, when you work online you can do this as you can take your work with you. Time off can be scheduled for when it suits you not your boss and you don’t have the yearly battle over the holiday calendar.

Health and Wellbeing

This really is for me one of the top reasons. You don’t have the negative influences from others and the workplace politics. You can eat more healthily and less rushed. You can schedule time for exercise. You can create the work space that works for you. You won’t be surrounded by illnesses and viruses. I could go on but all of these reasons lead to a happier, healthier more productive and efficient you.

Have a weekend.
